Nexus 6P teardown proves Android users will feel the iPain

You probably want that shiny new Nexus 6P, and I can’t blame you — it’s an amazing phone. Just don’t think you’ll be doing any repairs on it yourself.

The teardown experts at iFixit — which previously awarded the new Nexus 5X a score of 7 out of 10 — have given the Nexus 6P a score of 2. If you’re not familiar with the scoring system, low scores are bad.

It’s worth mentioning the two Nexus devices were made by different manufacturers, and the 5X is definitely the mid-tier option.
